PRIVACY POLICY
Mathew Paul Jinks is committed to protecting your personal data and being transparent about how it is used. This policy explains what information is collected, how it is used, and your rights under UK GDPR.
Who is responsible for your data?
Mathew Paul Jinks is the data controller for this website. You can contact him at jinkspottery@gmail.com.
What data is collected and why?
Bookings
When you make a booking through this site, the Wix Bookings system collects your name, email address, and any other details needed to process your reservation. This data is used solely to manage your booking and communicate with you about it.
Orders and payments
When you place an order, your name, email, delivery address, and payment details are collected to fulfil your purchase. Payments are processed securely by Wix Payments or PayPal — neither your full card details nor payment credentials are stored by this site. For details of how PayPal handles your data, please refer to the PayPal Privacy Policy.
Newsletter
If you choose to sign up for the newsletter, your email address is collected and stored via Wix Email Marketing. You may also receive newsletters delivered through Substack, a third party publishing platform. By signing up you consent to your email address being shared with Substack for this purpose. Substack operates its own data and privacy policy, which can be found at substack.com/privacy. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any newsletter email.
Contact enquiries
If you contact Mathew directly via the site, the information you provide will be used only to respond to your enquiry.
Google Shopping and Meta
This site connects to Google Shopping and may connect to Meta (Facebook and Instagram) Shopping. These platforms may collect data about your visit and behaviour on this site in order to display relevant ads. Both platforms operate their own data policies — please refer to the Google Privacy Policy and Meta Privacy Policy for full details. You can manage your ad preferences directly with each platform.
Etsy
Mathew also sells through an independent Etsy shop. Any purchases made through Etsy are subject to Etsy's own Privacy Policy and are separate from this website.
How long is your data kept?
Booking and order data is kept for as long as is reasonably necessary for accounting, legal, and customer service purposes. Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe. Enquiry data is not retained beyond the resolution of your query.
Who is your data shared with?
Your data is not sold or shared with third parties for marketing purposes. It may be shared only with the platform providers named in this policy — Wix, PayPal, Google, and Meta — as necessary to deliver the services described above.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR you have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data at any time. You also have the right to withdraw consent for newsletter communications and to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk if you have concerns about how your data is handled.

To exercise any of your rights or ask a question about this policy, please get in touch at jinkspottery@gmail.com.
